Quantifying Differences Between Experts and Novices on Inquiry-Based Learning Cases

• In Event: RTD- Systematic Inquiries

Short Description

Few studies have quantified how experts and novices weigh variables within a case. In this study, experts and novices weighed an array of indices (labels) on a series of inquiry-based learning (IBL) cases. Novices’ questions were also analyzed. Using the structural-function-behavior (SBF) framework, the study found differences on basic understanding (structure) and systems thinking (function); however, no differences on casual reasoning (behavior). Implications for case-based reasoning retrieval and reuse are discussed, as well as IBL.
